To paraphrase author Ian Leslie, if you let your curiosity roam free, you’ll break all the rules by asking questions no one’s thought to ask. Questions like the ones Steve Jobs asked.
Why ask a real sizzler like, “Want 1000 songs in your pocket?” when you’ve got 10 Imagine Dragons songs on your Sony CD Walkman precariously strapped to your belt?
Newsfash: Most brands don’t make these dangerous inquiries. Let’s change this.
Keynote speaker Jon Burkhart collects brands who ask and act on their curious urges to better connect with the changing needs of their audience.
In this insightful audiovisual show, Jon deconstructs the diversions and excursions of the bold and brave. Part stand-up comedy, part investigative report — expect interactive, rapid-fre storytelling with one aim: helping you fnd new ways to get and keep attention to build a loyal following.
Survive it all and tomorrow, you’ll kick-start Jon’s QUIET framework (Questions, Imagination, Empathy, Testing) with your content team. Plus, you’ll get your Triple S on by:
- Improving your Storytelling skills will have improved.
